Safe Rate API

The API provides users with up-to-date information on the current risk-free rate, as well as historical data on the rate over a given period of time.

About the API:  


This information can be used by investors, financial analysts and researchers to make informed decisions about their investments and financial strategies. One of the main advantages of the Safe Rate API is the accuracy and reliability of the data. This accuracy and reliability is critical for investors who need to make informed decisions based on the most up-to-date information available.

The Safe Rate API provides users with the current risk-free rate for the United States of America. The risk-free rate is the minimum return an investor expects from any investment that involves no risk. The rate is often used as a benchmark to determine the expected return on other investments, as well as the cost of capital for companies.

Another advantage of this API is the ease of integration into other applications and software. The API uses a standard RESTful architecture, which facilitates integration with a wide range of programming languages and platforms. This means that developers can easily incorporate risk free rate data into their own applications, tools and systems.

Can be used for a variety of purposes, such as calculating the expected return on an investment portfolio, determining a company's cost of capital, or conducting research on markets and financial trends. Investors can use the risk-free rate to make informed decisions about which investments to make, and financial analysts can use the rate to perform financial modeling and analysis.

Overall, the Safe Rate API provides users with valuable information that can help them make informed decisions about their investments and financial strategies. The accuracy and reliability of the data, combined with the ease of integration into other applications, make this API a valuable resource for investors, financial analysts and researchers alike.

The Safe Rate API returns JSON data that includes the current risk-free rate, along with the date, geography, and duration specified in the request.

The key fields in the response data include "date" (the date of the rate), "geography" (the region, e.g., US), "duration" (the time frame, such as 3m, 5y, or 10y), and "risk_free_rate" (the actual risk-free rate value).

The endpoint accepts parameters for "date" (specifying the date of interest), "geography" (indicating the region, e.g., US), and "duration" (which can be 3m, 5y, or 10y) to customize data requests.

The response data is organized in a structured JSON format, with each key-value pair clearly defined. This allows users to easily access specific information, such as the risk-free rate for a given date and duration.

The Safe Rate API sources its data from reliable financial institutions and market data providers, ensuring that the risk-free rate information is accurate and up-to-date for users.

Typical use cases include portfolio management, capital budgeting, financial modeling, research on market trends, and investment planning, where the risk-free rate serves as a benchmark for decision-making.

Users can utilize the returned data by integrating it into financial models, comparing it against other investment returns, or using it to assess the cost of capital for projects, enhancing their financial analysis and decision-making.

The endpoint provides information on the current risk-free rate, historical rates dating back to 1960, and allows users to specify the duration for which they want the rate, making it versatile for various financial analyses.

Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.

Prices are listed in USD (United States Dollar), EUR (Euro), CAD (Canadian Dollar), AUD (Australian Dollar), and GBP (British Pound). We accept all major debit and credit cards. Our payment system uses the latest security technology and is powered by Stripe, one of the world’s most reliable payment companies. If you have any trouble paying by card, just contact us at [email protected]

Additionally, if you already have an active subscription in any of these currencies (USD, EUR, CAD, AUD, GBP), that currency will remain for subsequent subscriptions. You can change the currency at any time as long as you don't have any active subscriptions.

The local currency shown on the pricing page is based on the country of your IP address and is provided for reference only. The actual prices are in USD (United States Dollar). When you make a payment, the charge will appear on your card statement in USD, even if you see the equivalent amount in your local currency on our website. This means you cannot pay directly with your local currency.

Occasionally, a bank may decline the charge due to its fraud protection settings. We suggest reaching out to your bank initially to check if they are blocking our charges. Also, you can access the Billing Portal and change the card associated to make the payment. If these does not work and you need further assistance, please contact our team at [email protected]

Prices are determined by a recurring monthly or yearly subscription, depending on the chosen plan.

API calls are deducted from your plan based on successful requests. Each plan comes with a specific number of calls that you can make per month. Only successful calls, indicated by a Status 200 response, will be counted against your total. This ensures that failed or incomplete requests do not impact your monthly quota.

Zyla API Hub works on a recurring monthly subscription system. Your billing cycle will start the day you purchase one of the paid plans, and it will renew the same day of the next month. So be aware to cancel your subscription beforehand if you want to avoid future charges.

To upgrade your current subscription plan, simply go to the pricing page of the API and select the plan you want to upgrade to. The upgrade will be instant, allowing you to immediately enjoy the features of the new plan. Please note that any remaining calls from your previous plan will not be carried over to the new plan, so be aware of this when upgrading. You will be charged the full amount of the new plan.

To check how many API calls you have left for the current month, refer to the β€˜X-Zyla-API-Calls-Monthly-Remaining’ field in the response header. For example, if your plan allows 1,000 requests per month and you've used 100, this field in the response header will indicate 900 remaining calls.

To see the maximum number of API requests your plan allows, check the β€˜X-Zyla-RateLimit-Limit’ response header. For instance, if your plan includes 1,000 requests per month, this header will display 1,000.

The β€˜X-Zyla-RateLimit-Reset’ header shows the number of seconds until your rate limit resets. This tells you when your request count will start fresh. For example, if it displays 3,600, it means 3,600 seconds are left until the limit resets.

Yes, you can cancel your plan anytime by going to your account and selecting the cancellation option on the Billing page. Please note that upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations take effect immediately. Additionally, upon cancellation, you will no longer have access to the service, even if you have remaining calls left in your quota.

You can contact us through our chat channel to receive immediate assistance. We are always online from 8 am to 5 pm (EST). If you reach us after that time, we will get back to you as soon as possible. Additionally, you can contact us via email at [email protected]

To give you the opportunity to experience our APIs without any commitment, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make up to 50 API calls at no cost. This trial can be used only once, so we recommend applying it to the API that interests you the most. While most of our APIs offer a free trial, some may not. The trial concludes after 7 days or once you've made 50 requests, whichever occurs first. If you reach the 50 request limit during the trial, you will need to "Start Your Paid Plan" to continue making requests. You can find the "Start Your Paid Plan" button in your profile under Subscription -> Choose the API you are subscribed to -> Pricing tab. Alternatively, if you don't cancel your subscription before the 7th day, your free trial will end, and your plan will automatically be billed, granting you access to all the API calls specified in your plan. Please keep this in mind to avoid unwanted charges.

After 7 days, you will be charged the full amount for the plan you were subscribed to during the trial. Therefore, it’s important to cancel before the trial period ends. Refund requests for forgetting to cancel on time are not accepted.

When you subscribe to an API free trial, you can make up to 50 API calls. If you wish to make additional API calls beyond this limit, the API will prompt you to perform an "Start Your Paid Plan." You can find the "Start Your Paid Plan" button in your profile under Subscription -> Choose the API you are subscribed to -> Pricing tab.

Payout Orders are processed between the 20th and the 30th of each month. If you submit your request before the 20th, your payment will be processed within this timeframe.
